      My guess is that between panels three and four there was a small time skip, one where Joyce went to lay down and Sarah silently went to scoop those up off the counter to present to her. It’s just the comic that presents it in a comedic snapshot way.

      I feel like this is the first time that Sarah has embraced her role as Joyce’s older sister. Not because she wants to or anything(tsundere,) but because she can’t help but worry about Joyce.

      Sierra Mist has been rebranded to Starry now. I think that’s Sprite which is probably popular enough to never rebrand and retroactively date the comic timescale.

        They also reformulated it to make it taste even closer to Sprite. It’s fine, but I liked the old real-sugar Sierra Mist.

        Specifically because of a trademark battle with TikToker, Cierra Mist. Pepsico had to rebrand because they didn’t realize their trademark had expired and Cierra Mist bought it out of spite after Pepsi sent her a cease and desist for using her name.

    6% less effective on abstinence is still 100% effective……. IF it’s actually abstinence.

    • Freemage

      May 15, 2024 at 12:14 am | #

      Yeah, abstinence is 100% effective if used perfectly. However, it’s also the least-perfectly used form of contraception, and one of the worst when ‘improperly used’. Also, let’s face it, missing her Pill is likely to leave Joyce open to the real reason she started taking it, and even 6% of that pain is something she’d probably like to avoid.

        Given who pushes abstinence the most, it’s important to point out that their religion is predicated on abstinence NOT WORKING.

        “Abstinence: 99.99999% effective¹”

        [1] Note: abstinence is not effective at all since people have to battle billions of years of motivation to replicate.

      Worth noting started taking birth control to deal with unbearable cramps moreso than as actual birth control. 6% less effective is a risk of great pain regardless of any potential sexy times with Joe.

        Not clear the 6% less would apply to that.
        And would it be a 6% chance of the same pain or just 6% of the pain? 6% of the pain is probably not a big deal.

            Yeah, that’s how I read it, too. Which (for her, based on her anxieties and where she seems to want to be) is some pretty positive growth.

            (Nothing wrong with not wanting to have sex, of course! But, at this point, I get the sense that it’s primarily Joyce’s long-programmed anxieties which are preventing her from doing what she wants to do, and live how she wants to live.)

      How something fails is a lot more important than how well it functions. If you were buying a car and it went just under the speed of sound and only needed a cup of water a year as fuel, but it has no brakes and it explodes at random times, would you really want it?

        A car gets you from A to B with the implied so strongly it usually does not need to be stated result that at B you can safely exit the vehicle. If you have no brakes and need to whizz around until friction slows you down, the car has failed to perform its intended function.

        Also that’s way too fast to drive. You can’t react at those speeds, even with brakes.

        Our car has automatic braking so if somebody steps out in front of you it should stop the car and prevent a bang. The videos my husband showed me make me feel very anxious – the car stops about 6 inches from the crash test dummy on the pole. THAT’S TOO CLOSE BACK UP AT LEAST 3 FEET PLEASE K THANK YOU!!! (In practice, this is just an additional back-up and the person at the steering wheel should be braking a sane distance away, and extra safety features are definitely a good thing!)

        A car that goes at this speed can only be safely driven in the middle of a perfectly flat, perfectly empty, perfectly straight, and very very long track. At this speed, a pebble under your wheel can be enough to ramp you up into the sky.

        That said, I would still want the car, but not to actually drive it, or even turn it on — just to have a team of scientists and engineers find out how it gets so much energy from just a cup of water. ‘Cuz at this point it’s alien tech and we need to reverse engineer it.

          Well said, someone.

          Big fan of automatic braking assistance here. Right after we got our current car someone ran out into the road in front of me. The car was already slowing before I could react and my foot hit the brakes. Without that and whatever they call the brake micropulsing to prevent skids, it’s likely he would have been a statistic.

          I need to take iron pills. It is recommended that I take them WITH a source of vitamin C (in my case I use apple juice) but with no other food (especially stuff with calcium). Other medication I have taken has to either be on an empty stomach, or taken with food.

          Its a real art trying to optimally schedule meds around these restrictions.

      Well Joyce was supposed to get used to it by using mini-m&m’s to practice, but that didn’t go very well. If she needs a lot of liquid to take it, go for a normal bottle or at least a 1 liter bottle instead.

    Oh, I remember old reliable pills which you could miss a day or take a few hours late.

    My current ones I can’t miss more than 2 hours or they’re rendered completely ineffective as birth control. Which is fine, they’re just bleeding control with as little depression inflicted as possible. My reproductive system seems to have decided that ovulation is for punks anyways.

    I do love this interaction though, I forget sometimes how much I like Joyce and Sarah interacting generally.

      Hey, just in case you don’t know, if you’re not ovulating (and therefore not having periods) and it’s NOT because your birth control is supposed to do that, then something is wrong. Unfortunately, there are more reasons to have periods than just to keep your reproductive system functional, and you should be having periods every 1-3 months even on BC. Otherwise your risk of reproductive cancers is increased.

Unfortunately, I am genetically elevated for certain cancers, my main problem (appears to be) that I don’t ovulate and thus I will bleed to death if I’m not on medicine to keep me from ever having my cycle. Thank you for checking in though, I know some people get cross about such things!

      Thank you – I was really confused as my experience was that the leaflet SAID skipping a few pills a month was fine if not ideal but then, I think I came off them in 2009…

      They definitely worked – side effects weren’t great, but the cramping was reduced, the cycle length a bit longer than my natural rhythms, and I started them initially coz the periods were ruining my life. Also no pregnancies until a few years after I came off hormonal BC (I had the implant after, and it made my periods stop; took 2 years after it came out for them to resume, then 2 weeks for me to notice my 4th period was late with my first. My second and third were both conceived the same cycle we agreed we’d like to have another one at some point in the not-so-distant future, so it’s fair to say my natural fertility levels were probably “fecund” lol, and I was with my now-husband for years before coming off the pill…)

    On one hand it’s nice that Sarah is still someone Joyce can count on to have her back. On the other hand it’s not healthy for for her to be stressing this much about Joyces whereabouts every time Joyce trys something different even if it’s understandable given all the dangers last semester.

      Joyce went out drinking and then didn’t come back afterwards, I think Sarah had every reason to worry. Ill-regardless of everything that’s happened. Joyce didn’t have to tell her where she was going or what she was doing. But it would have been thoughtful to text, “I won’t be back tonight so no need to worry.”

      Unclear to me if this was supposed to be in response to the condom comment or if it’s supposed to stand alone, but for those who may be reading – birth control has to be taken every day (not counting the week of inactive pills) in order for it to be effective. “Effective” includes for both contraceptive as well as for period-regulating purposes (the reason why Joyce went on birth control). Just wanted to put that out there.

      Condoms would constitute an extra layer of protection against pregnancy and the only protection against STDs. If, say, the condom broke, Joyce would still be protected against pregnancy (assuming she’d been taking the pill for at least 7 days) but not necessarily STDs. If she wanted to take the morning after pill it would be out of an extreme abundance of caution, not necessity, and it would not “cancel” out her birth control. She would continue to take her birth control normally.

      May 15, 2024 at 4:03 am | #

      Just adding onto Aubrey’s excellent explanation: the so-called morning-after pill prevents ovulation for a time, which only helps prevent pregnancy if you don’t already have an egg hanging out waiting to be fertilized. So depending on where you are in your fertility cycle, it may or may not help.

      Generally, if you are already doubled up on contraception and you are using both of them correctly, you are already as protected from pregnancy as you’re going to get. And yes, it is entirely possible to use a condom incorrectly, actually.

          Vasectomies can fail. And, I mean, a hysterectomy is even more effective, but that’s hardly the same category.

          And a dude saying, “Don’t worry babe, I’ve had a vasectomy,” is very much not reliable birth control.

            The only 100% reliable birth control is to never ever ever have sex or go near any semen at all. It gets exhausting when every time one of the other methods is mentioned, someone has to say “Well, that’s not perfect”.

    The pills reminder works a lot better coming from Sarah than from Dorothy. In the unused strip, it felt like Dorothy managing Joyce. For Sarah, it’s an extension of her worrying about Joyce’s well-being, and that’s more important to her than her loathing of Joe.

    I guess the “97 days without a kidnapping” sign was foreshadowing Sarah’s panic here.

        It’s definitely understandable for Sarah’s worry but still not necessarily a good thing for her or Joyce that she continues to worry to this extent. Even if its to be expected this soon after a traumatic event, it is an issue that should be acknowledged ideally with a competent therapist.

          In my experience this is the normal amount of worry, especially for cohabiting young women with any kind of care for each other. I mean, I have an anxiety disorder so I might not be the best judge of “normal worry” but in all of my house sharing experiences sending check ins has been common to the point of habit.

          Heck, first time I met my gf she picked me up from a friend’s houseparty late at night in her white van and took me to a second location and by the morning my phone had blown up from several friends seeking confirmation that I was still breathing.

      If a friend/roomate doesn’t come home unexpectedly… its always good practice to make sure they aren’t dead or more importantly, in a situation where they could use the cavalry. Its even more important if you like doing your own thing because that’s how you end up as a cold case where the cops do nothing becuase “you’ll just show up in a few days”. You should have at least one person you can trust knowing when it would be weird for you to have disappeared.

    On one hand, I fully understand Sarah being worried sick, not seeing Joyce coming back after the last news she sees of her is her being drunk and then nothing. But also, if she knew where Joyce had planned to go, it’s strongly possible she might have tried to interfere, so I can’t entirely blame Joyce for not keeping Sarah informed.

      Why so? Joe has behaved very well and will likely continue to do so. He has always behaved well towards Joyce, if not necessarily towards others… and tbh, apart from general implied sexual promiscuity (and we don’t REALLY know how much of that is actually true) he is quite a responsible character. He is well aware that his father is much less so. In his position I would have told Mike to Foxtrot Roger Oscar during the “yellow dress” date. If Sarah tries to dictate to him. I can see him telling her where to get off, and fair play to him

          Yeah, we’ve seen enough of his change (and to a lesser extent how much his previous presentation was performative) to know that Joyce was safe, but Sarah hasn’t and it’s not at all unreasonable for her to not trust Joe in bed with a drunk Joyce.

          Even early Joe might not have actually taken advantage of a drunk girl, but he gave that impression and no one should have trusted him.

            I think they just happen to own the same shirt in their respective sizes. Joe got it for the double entendre, Dina got it because paleontology reference.

    Joyce is undressing in front of an open door, talking about her sex life, and brushing off assumptions about the status of her virginity? Who is this character and where is the neurotic mess we started with!

    And the ”Ok, gimme”, Joyce is really considering using hahaha

      I mean, they’re presumably the pills she was prescribed for her menstrual cramps. There was a whole storyline about it about two years ago. So she’s been taking them for about a week now.

        And what’s about her in last panel? No problem in Joyce considering be more assertive in her meds because she’s wondering having sex.

    I immediately went to assuming that Sarah was pulling out the chloroform and a rag before I registered that it was Joyce’s birth control. That would have been a funny gag

    I know I keep harping on it, but it’s kind of interesting to see how much Joyce has changed, throwing the shirt off like that with their door still open. Character development takes many forms.

      I think she put her bra on before leaving, like we did see Joe stop to put a shirt on, so they weren’t THAT rushed. It was just hidden underneath the Big Boyfriend Borrowed… Blouse? (So close to 4x alliteration….)

    poor Sarah, I knew this would be hard for her… it is true that Joyce should have let her roommate know she was spending the night with Joe, but I guess those kind of concerns might not come to mind when you’re drunk…

      (the drinking part also might’ve been good to mention, depending on how late exactly that was; but once Joyce decided that she wouldn’t be back till morning, it definitely would’ve been the responsible thing to text Sarah. but again, probably harder to remember to be responsible when drunk.)

    I love how Sisters they are. But real talk: if that’s one of those you have to take in the same one-hour time frame every day, they’re a pain in the ass. Incredibly effective from my experience (as both birth control and a lessener of painful cramps) but nothing compares to the sheer panic of going out with friends and realizing in the middle, “Oh shit, I left my pill at home and it’s time.”

      Minus any friend kidnapped, assailant-with-a-knife, whole group kidnapping background events… this would STILL be a normal thing to worry about. There was one night freshman year my roommate didn’t come home without having said anything, and I was worried. We weren’t even close, but I still texted her to check. You add in a few basics like knowing your roommate grew up very sheltered and that she was out drinking for the first time, and I’d be pretty anxious about the whole thing.

      (I would have expected a text between these two, though– if Sarah had texted and Joyce hadn’t responded, then that’s just more worry fuel.)

    Yes, please, god, tell her that. She needs to know about the meds. Although some of them have a window for what counts as ‘late’. Mine is three hours.

    And I think it’s sweet that Sarah was worried about Joyce.

    OK, so, I wildly misread this comic, specifically the last panel, and I thought others might find it amusing, even though most people are past this by now.

    My brain didn’t register what Sarah was holding, so when she says, “If not strictly taken on schedule, you lose 6% effectiveness,” I read the “you” as referring to *Joyce.* In other words that by Joyce disappearing and not being around Sarah, Sarah wasn’t “taking” her, and thus Joyce was losing her effectiveness on Sarah.

    Brains are good at going to elaborate lengths to make things make sense.

My belief is that a lot of people worship a pantheon of death gods, whether they realize it or not, and my intent is to live long enough to see their gods' heads put up on pikes. That's where I'm at. I'll warm my bones by the glow of these cathedrals of rot when they're all razed to the ground.
